# 1Password: Safeguarding Your Online Security
Are you still using the same password for every online account? Let me tell you, my friend, it’s a risky game. If a breach occurs on one site, it could lead to your accounts on other websites being compromised.
I used to be guilty of this myself until I stumbled upon Have I Been Pwned, which revealed the extent of breaches my email had been involved in. That wake-up call prompted me to start using a password manager.
A few years later, I received a spam email containing an old breached password, with an attempt to blackmail me for bitcoins. Luckily, I had already moved on from that password by then. 🙃
The integrations offered by 1Password are fantastic! With a developer API to connect and retrieve secrets from the password store, it’s a convenient solution. Plus, there’s no need to set up something like Vault by HashiCorp for basic security needs.
# Waking Up: Nurturing Your Mindfulness
Picture this: It’s evening in Gurgaon, the sun is setting, and I’m asking Alexa to play the latest episode of The Tim Ferris Show. To my delight, Sam Harris, founder of Waking Up, is a guest. He shares insights into the meditations offered in the app Waking Up, and they’re truly enlightening.
I didn’t immediately subscribe to Waking Up. Being my usual self, I tried to fix things only after they became a problem. Months later, as I was struggling mentally I finally decided to give the app a try—and I’m so glad I did.
After a few months of using Waking Up! I can confidently say it’s one of the best subscriptions I’ve invested in. Each time I engage with the app, my day takes a positive turn.
Unlike many meditation apps that emphasise focus, Waking Up! takes a more contemplative approach, guiding you towards a connection with the present moment with non-duality. Through its Metta techniques, it fosters a sense of love, not only for others but also for oneself. Moreover, it offers insightful conversations on topics like procrastination, goal-setting, financial planning, and various self-help subjects.
I invite you to join me on Waking Up’s journey.
